An eight-year-old girl of Dakara, Linden- Soesdyke Highway was yesterday afternoon admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) nursing five pellet wounds to her neck after she was shot by an unknown man.
Christine Reevers was listed in stable condition at the hospital up to press time.
Her worried mother, Maureen Flores, told Stabroek News that the girl was playing in the yard with her three sisters around 2:30 when she was shot. Flores said the pellets entered and exited the child’s neck and injured both her shoulders in the process.
She said because yesterday was the child’s birthday, she and her husband decided not to send her to school. The woman said she heard her daughter crying and when she ran out of the house to see what had happened, Christine came running to her with blood streaming down her clothes. She was then rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre to seek medical attention. Flores said she was not satisfied with the treatment given to her daughter at that medical institution so she decided to take the injured child to the GPH. She was at a loss as to who would want to injure her young daughter on her birthday.
The child’s father Lane Reevers, who was also at the hospital yesterday, told Stabroek News that he was in the process of taking a bath when he heard what sounded like a gunshot .The man, who appeared confused, said his daughter gave him a brief description of a man who shot at her. He said he does not have any grievances with anyone and like his wife questioned who would want to injure his daughter
Reevers said he reported the matter to the police yesterday afternoon and expressed hope that the perpetrator will be arrested.
This is wired…I do understand why they weren’t satisfy with the treatment at the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, if you go there when u have an headache they will give you and injection, if you go there when u have a nail bore the will give you an injection,if you go there for any broken part of your body they will give you an injection, if you go there to see your family yo better believe ya getting an INJECTION….Even if it is the guard you going to see is an injection in ya backside..hahahahaha
It sounds like you get one or more of those INJECTIONS,oh LMAO.
ha ha ha ………… SandHurst stop your madness, U got me cracking up here man
You are a funny person, Injection for every thing ha ha ha
SERIOUSLY, SANDY U R SO CORRECT… THEY ARE SO LACKADASICAL AT CERTAIN MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS… U GO WITH A SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLE, OK HERE’S 2 IBUPROPHEN OR TYLENOL OR ADVIL & GO HOME, REST & U GO FEEL BETTA… IT WANT A MAD PERSON TO GO IN THERE THEN U GO SEE SCATTERATION & RUNNING.
You still getting injection,,,your Burnham Government had,, panadol with no doctors and one broken down hospital…
I remember it was aspirin during Banum time.
It is well for you guys to make fun of the situation at the Dianostic centres, but just imagine the frustration of the doctors there when a serious case comes to them, and they are feel so helpless because the hospital has nothing for the doctors to work with,in order to help the patients, and most of the times what is needed is never there, everything is always in short supply & doctors are expected to save lives, if you find that the patients are given panadol and injections everytime, well that is what the doctors have to work with and that is why there are always referrals to the Georgetown Hospital, one cannot expect doctors to perform adequately if they are given basket to fetch water, so to speak, and when comparsions are made between their country and the country where they were trained, where the tools were available to work with, then the thinking is, that I should have stayed there instead of returning to this God forsaken country,
The ones on the outside looking in is positioned in a different angle from the ones on the inside looking out, if positions and places are switched, then both parties will have a different view
YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS HATING ON OU, TRUST ME, BUT GOD WAS IN THE MIDST
SHF,
My tummy hurts man…I’ve to sue you for belly ache man. After that, I really need an INJECTION to calm down.
THIS IS A SICK PERSON IF CAUGHT AND FOUND GUILTY HE SHOULD GET AT LEAST 25 TO LIFE IN JAIL THIS IS A KID I FELT SORRY FOR THE KID AND THE PARENT TOO.THESE JUDGE HAS TO SET EXAMPLE WITH THESE TYPE OF CRIME OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT STOP.
One day we get a reprieve from crime, today it’s back in full force, i hope we did this to the little girl is caught and face the court.
corrections: i hope who did this to the little girl is caught and face the court.
This is a sad issue. When will it end? When will it end? Whoever did this should be brought to trial and jail for a very long period of time.
Lord have mercy… i don’t understand this sick story…8 year old that’s a baby, how could people be so cruel. But a time is coming when this will all be over. I will pray for this little child that all turns out well and for her family.
SAND HURST WHAT U MEAN IF THEM FIND HIM GUILTY?HE SHOT THE POOR KID AND U WILL ASK IF THEY FOUND HIM GUILTY
wey part i said anything about finding him guilty??
Why was the child not sent to school because it was her birthday? Birthdays are special days but education is far more importand that that those days of running around doing nothing. The parents could have celebrated after she came home from school. With all these crazy people with guns, we have to be thoughtful of the decisions we make. This whole thing is strange and I hope the child recovers quickly.
Just dosen’t sound right……………………….
People in Guyana going mad.Trust me i have 2 kids hat age ,and if some one shot at them i i puts hands on that person.God knows police looking for me not them anymore.
You don’t send your child to school because it’s her birthday???
This seems to be a growing trend in the Caribbean, certainly not something copied from NA
